The standardbred breed is known for its kind, docile nature and its toughness. Horses can go a big trip three days before a race to sharpen up, a three minute mile two hours before post time, a two minute mile an hour before post time, and then race. So, when we see a rare three heat effort, it is no surprise the horses can put on a show. That's what happened yesterday in what amounted to a match race between Man of Many Missions and Dejarmbro for the Kentucky Futurity crown at the Red Mile.
It was an exciting a race as you'd ever want to see.

While he has lost his 2 biggest races, the Hambo and the CTC, it appears that Manofmanymission's body of work is still the most impressive of all 3YO trotters.
